The Darkness Is Here
A being hovers in the darkness, it's hair seems to move with a life of its own as the beasts piercing green eyes surveyed the dark land.
Aphex alike stare up at the blood sky, a coldness already enveloping the land.

A harsh, rough voice rumbles through the land, there was no crevasse this sound didn't touch. "Creatures of this ...Planet. Turn your eyes towards me if you don't wish to perish. I've chosen a form you may recognize...but i am nothing like you. I want you to listen very closely. Bring me my Azriah and I'll release your light. I'll give you only a few days. I'm sure most of you wont last much longer..." |
The being landed on the outskirts of Mt Ever Rest, creating a large obsidian structure where he perched up top, waiting. Watching.
Those uncaring green reptilian eyes looking over the lands around him. If they came to fight, he would be ready as the district leaders all gathered together to discuss the state of their lands, and the actions they will take.

"We should gather our people and search the land for what this being desires, lest we succumb to this darkness. The only way to release our sun is to find out what this being wants. Surely something so important must have been found by one of our people!" |

"There is no time to look for something that may not even exist! I say we fight for our planet. There is no conceivable way I'm going to let some alien come and wipe us all out! We shall gather our strongest warriors and take down this threat. We shall not live in fear for another day!" |

A commotion breaks out in the room, the leaders arguing over who is right, each taking their own side. Eventually they dismiss the meeting, the two sides in disagreement. The leaders return to their districts and begin to rally their people. Should we fight a threat that we do not understand? Or should we seek the secrets to break this curse?

Guidelines To submit a prompt to this Route, please follow the rules below. Task 1 Depict your character preparing for a long journey. They may pack essentials or try to find a form of transportation to head towards Mt Ever Rest. When this task is completed, you will earn a Fallen Star. Task 2 Along your Characters journey, they begin to notice strange glowing objects littered around the ground. They aren't too common, but seem to call out with a gentle ethereal voice. On close inspection, these look like little glowing stars, but where have they come from? Maybe they can help us on our journey. Depict your character collecting these glowing fragments, either on their own or with an animal as their transport. When this task is completed, you will earn a Fallen Star. Task 3 Cold wind bites at your characters' skin as they approach Mt Ever Rest. The sky is dark, the wind is oddly loud as you approach, a large black castle of obsidian stands before them, the Being sat on his throne, overlooking the vast landscape. His glowing green eyes slowly fall on them, if they had come to fight, he will take pleasure in entertaining them before their downfall. Your character now has their full attention. The stars they have collected begin to glow and vibrate. It is unsure what they are trying to do, but they are clearly being pulled towards something. Draw your character either interacting with the stars, releasing them and/or following them as they ascend towards the top of the mountain. As more and more stars make their way up top, you can feel their energy grow. What will happen once they have all reunited? When this task is completed, you will earn a Fallen Star. |
